ICC T20 World Cup 2026: The Super Eight phase of the T20 World Cup is about to begin. Excitement is also increasing among cricket lovers. Let’s find out some interesting facts about the competition team.
The T20 World Cup has reached the second round. As the competition progresses, the excitement of the fans increases. The Indian national cricket team has been in great form so far in the tournament, having not lost a single match till the time of writing this report. Italy, who are playing on the world stage for the first time, also caught the eye as a new face in this tournament.
But one of the most exceptional teams in the world of cricket is the West Indies cricket team. Many people think it is a country team, but in reality it is not. It consists of a series of about 15 islands in the Caribbean region, which are located in the area adjacent to the Caribbean Sea. The group represents a crescent-shaped archipelago spanning about 3,200 km.
Geographically this region is divided into several parts. The larger islands include several other islands, including Cuba and Jamaica, and a group of smaller islands known as the Lesser Antilles. Although these islands are separate countries, they participate together as a team in international cricket, which is a unique example in world cricket.
This team has produced many legendary cricketers. Stars like Brian Lara, Viv Richards and Chris Gayle hailed from different Caribbean countries and played under the same flag. Their extraordinary performance has given West Indies a special status in world cricket.
From the late 1970s to the early 1980s, the team was an almost unstoppable force in world cricket. Led by captain Clive Lloyd, they won the 1975 and 1979 World Cups and later the T20 World Cup. A unique blend of history, tradition and diversity, this team is still considered one of the iconic forces in the world of cricket.
